Finally Week 4 done - what I learnt

I have tried to do C25K at least 3 times, maybe more and never managed to graduate, mostly due to injury. This time I got more involved with the forum (well I read a lot - this is my first post) and what struck me was how often people say to slow down. So I listened, for once, and it works!!!! Not only am I injury free so far but I am enjoying it much more. Thank you everyone for your advice and I'm looking forward to Week 5 and officially becoming a 'runner' :-)
